Eagles Of Death Metal's live touring drummer Julian Dorio has made an emotional statement after the Paris attacks, saying that he wants to tour again to fiinish the gig they started after it was attacked by ISIS.

Dorio was touring as a stand-in for Josh Homme with the 'Complexity' and 'Save A Prayer' rockers on the Zipper Down tour, when Daesh killed 89 people at their show at The Bataclan on 13 November.

Now, he has taken to Instagram to speak out after the heinous killings.

"November 13, 2015. I, along with my bandmates @eodmofficial, had the privilege to play to one of the most energetic crowds of our tour when, nearly half way through the show, the unimaginable occurred. Absolute and unnecessary evil turned our world on its head. I am beyond grateful that I was able to find a way out of the venue, but I am mourning those who did not, including our mate, Nick Alexander. My thoughts are with their families.

"I'm home safe. And now I have a new family abroad. To Arthur, who ran for his life right beside me and selflessly put us in a taxi before himself, thank you. To Fabrice, a fan who lent me his phone later that night so I could call @emilydorio and attempt to put her at ease, thank you. To everyone who, in the face of unrelenting evil, went toe to toe using courage, compassion, and love as their weapons. You all are my heroes. Last but certainly not least, the outreach and support back home is appreciated more than you'll ever know. I will never forget it. I am forever changed but hold fast to the love around us.

He added: "I'm counting down the days until I get to finish that concert. Peace & love.✌🏼️❤️🤘🏼 #prayforparis #bataclan #eodm"

Earlier this week, the band teased heartbreaking details of what it was like inside the venue, in a trailer for their first full interview since their terrorist ordeal.

Josh Homme's Sweet Stuff Foundation are currently taking charity donations for the victims and their families, while his wife Brody Dalle recently also paid touching tribute.

Meanwhile, The Bataclan has vowed to re-open in the future, stating 'we will not surrender'.
